Our Approach
We believe therapy should be flexible and tailored to you—not one-size-fits-all. That’s why our clinicians draw from a diverse range of evidence-based therapeutic models, depending on your goals, strengths, and needs.
While our team integrates a broad spectrum of approaches, some of the primary methods include:
- Client-Centered Therapy – Rooted in empathy, collaboration, and respect, client-centered therapy values the therapeutic relationship and emphasizes presence and connection in the here and now.
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – To identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping tools
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) – To support emotional regulation, mindfulness, and resilience
- Mindfulness-Based Strategies – To support present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – For processing and healing trauma
Your practitioner will work with you to determine what feels right—whether that’s structured skill-building, deep emotional processing, or space to talk and reflect free of judgment.

What to Expect
1. First Session
Your journey begins with a conversation—welcomed with warmth, respect, and without judgment. It’s a chance to share what’s bringing you in, ask any questions you may have, and get a feel for whether the therapist is the right fit for you.
2. Personalized Support
Together, you and your therapist will define your goals and shape the direction of therapy. Sessions are typically 50 minutes and offered weekly or biweekly, depending on your preferences.
3. Progress at Your Pace
Therapy looks different for everyone. Some people come short-term with a specific goal, while others stay longer for ongoing support. There’s no right or wrong path—just your own.
Therapy takes emotional risk and effort. By showing up honestly, you create space for growth, clarity, and lasting progress.
